Web development in D is incredibly fun. I love that I can compile HTML templates into machine code (which of courses catches template errors as compiler errors), I love how fast the result is, I love that there is a very lively collection of D packages around web development. In fact, the D package manager, dub, started as a package manager for Vibe.d, the main D web framework.
